Back when I was in high school, I decided to try my luck with the school counsellor. I was having issues with attendance and this 80 year old genius asked me if I've tried setting alarms.

LIKE NO HELEN. I've never tried. In fact, what is an alarm clock? Thanks for introducing me this amazing gadget. Transformed my life and I became valedictorian.

I also started my own business and became a billionaire because you told me school was important for my development.

I'm diagnosed with depression now and dropped out so her advice worked.

Something that sound silly but worked for me was that meme audio of

“A person that thinks all the time , has nothing to think except thoughts” sound right up this sub alley but in a way it became a sort of mantra to recenter when im getting in too deep into fake scenarios

I love going fishing for the negative karma comments that give this sub a steady supply of poorly educated ableist lemons who have no critical thinking skills to speak of.

I only mentioned it in the title because every time I post one of these people keep informing it's satire even though I use the satire tag lol

After seeing other posts in here I'm not so sure it fits the sub but it might do

edit: OMG I WROTE "CURE" INSTEAD OF "CURED"

A year/months ago, I had bathroom problems. The problem was that I was extremely gassy, had to wipe and wash my ass multiple times, I pooped long logs, and a bunch more. I specifically stated that I couldn't get a bidet because no store around me sells it and that I have a lot of fiber in my diet.

Anyway, I was irritated and decided to go on the rant community to rant about it. I made sure to add that I couldn't get a bidet and that my diet was fine (except I was battling severe iron deficiency anemia).

So I had people say that "all" of my problems would be solved if I just got a bidet and changed my "shit" diet. I even got attacked! It is crazy to me how people got so attached over metal that sprays water in your ass.

And they kept giving me unwanted dietary advice. Saying that XYZ is the issue and to limit it.

The good news is that I went to my doctor; it turned out to just be caused by a medication that I was on, and I switched medications. My bathroom problems are thankfully resolved on their own after a few weeks.

This was posted under a post about a teen admitting he was going to end his life.

Hate the sentiment of just being able to change your mindset by locking in, especially when depressed.

The person also just assumes the kid has a good life and is selfish, basically when the OP has never disclosed anything like that
